Summary:  AU Supernatural. Gabriel is tired of Micahel and Raphael’s constant interfering and dictating what’s best for him. Little do they know that he’s been sneaking to earth to fall in love with you. When he convinces you to run away with him, all hell is about to break loose.

________
1 week later…
You lay with Gabriel on the couch snuggled against his side as some tv show played unnoticed in the background. Halfway through, whatever show it was, you closed your eyes and snuggled further against Gabriel. He placed one of his hands over yours that you had laid on his chest. Neither of you had said much in a while but the quiet cuddling was enough.
The last week had thankfully calmed down. Dean had slowly accepted that you were pregnant. You were positive that Dean had tracked Chuck down and threatened him real good about keeping you alive. When he came home Dean seemed to be in a lot better of a mood. You could only assume that threatening Chuck would bring that level of happiness.
Was Dean happy about you being pregnant…no. Something told you that your eldest brother wouldn’t be happy until the baby was born and you were alive.
Gabriel also wasn’t saying much about the baby-to-be. While you didn’t expect him to be excited, you wished he would “open up.” The best that you could assume was your lover would be like Dean. While he wasn’t as on edge as Dean was, you could still sense Gabriel’s nervousness. His eyes were always on you now. He seemed to be watching every move that you made while being totally prepared to smite whatever could harm you in the slightest.
“Maye that is his love language when it comes to the baby?”
That was the best thought that you could formulate. Gabriel had told you a few days prior that he could sense the baby’s heartbeat. The look in his eyes when he said those words and how he stroked his fingers over your still flat stomach gave you some hope as to his feelings.
Minus, the baby on the way, everything else with Gabriel was just like usual. You were thankful for that at least. If Gabriel turned off the love supply, you would have totally fallen apart. From the brief bit of the baby book that you had read (until you got to the part about birthing pictures and nearly vomited) apparently, a woman’s sex drive was supposed to increase.
“…Yep, that’s happening.”
“How are you feeling?”
Gabriel asked softly, pulling you from your thoughts. He originally didn’t want to wake you but the quiet of the room was beginning to drive him nuts. Gabriel wouldn’t say it but his anxiety went into near overdrive whenever you were quiet for long periods. Yes, he was able to check you over at any time but hearing your voice seemed to make all of his worries go away. You yawned snuggling further into his side instantly making the worry within Gabriel vanish.
“Fine. My stomach hurts a bit but I suppose that I should get used to that.”
Gabriel put a finger to your head and the sick feeling instantly vanished. He gave you a sheepish little smirk before moving to kiss your forehead.
“I guess that will be a benefit of having a baby with me. I can make all of the nasty…side effects go away.”
“That will be definitely useful.”
You replied before yawning again. Gabriel moved to stroke a hand down your back toward the waistband of your jeans.
“Before you get too comfortable…”
He started but stopped suddenly and sat up. You gave him a curious frown as Amelia came running in with a small box in her hand. It took all you had to stop yourself from smirking at the annoyed expression on Gabriel’s face. If Dean were in the room, you were 100% positive that mentions of being “cock blocked” would have come up.
“Hi, shorty. What do you have there?”
You asked, sitting up. Amelia was nearly bouncing up and down. Gabriel raised an eyebrow before smirking. The little girl reminded him so much of you it felt as if he was looking into a mirror.
“Uncle Dean got me a guinea pig! I named her Snickerdoodle!”
You instantly looked up to Dean as he stepped into the room with a shit-eating grin on his face. He gave you a small shrug before you turned back to your niece who had fished the petrified-looking animal out of the box.
“Oh, that’s nice. She’s lovely, sweetie. Does your daddy know about Snickerdoodle?”
Amelia shook her head and shoved some of her dark hair out of her face.
“I see. Maybe you should…oh look there’s Sam now.”
Sam automatically sighed. He hated that tone. He knew “that” tone. Something was up and something told him that it involved him somehow.
“I love conversations that start like this.”
Amelia ran over to Sam nearly hopping up and down with delight.
“Uncle Dean got me a guinea pig!”
Sam automatically scowled at Dean. This was the last thing that he wanted to get involved with too. Between a pregnant sister who would be giving birth to an archangel’s baby, his own child, dealing with Michael, and all of the other kinks involved with being a Winchester…Sam just didn’t have a “guinea pig” in him.
“Uh huh…he did, did he? Amelia…guinea pigs are…”
Sam tried to think of the right word. He looked up at Gabriel.
“Violent?”
Gabriel suggested, earning a scowl from both Sam and yourself. He only gave you a little shrug as Sam knelt down to Amelia.
“Sweetie, guinea pigs are a lot of work. Uncle Dean, Aunt Y/n, and I are really busy…I’m not sure if this is a good idea. Uncle Dean and I are gone a lot and Aunty Y/n is about to have a baby soon…”
Amelia gave Sam a pouty frown.
“I can do it. I am 5 whole years old.”
Dean made his way over to Gabriel with a smirk.
“This is your first real lesson on being a parent…how to cave.”
Gabriel’s amber eyes rolled over to Dean.
“If you give my child one of those rats, I may smite you.”
Dean quickly moved away from Gabriel shaking his head.
“Tough crowd.”
You rolled your eyes at Dean and Gabriel before turning back to Amelia who was clearly happy with her new furry friend. Her little face showed nothing but pure joy. You couldn’t help but smile at her. Ever since Amelia had moved into the bunker, you took extra care to find little things to bring her joy with. Something told you that Dean used the same excuse to bring Snickerdoodle home.
“Would you two get a room?”
You muttered before kneeling down next to Amelia.
“You really like her don’t you?”
Amelia nodded.
“Yes, aunty. She has a wiggly nose.”
Amelia then attempted to make her nose wiggle like the guinea pig that was nestled in her arms. Again, you couldn’t help but smile. You noticed a small smile grace Gabriel’s face too. You knew that he would never admit it but Amelia had grown on him. Whether it be the fact that she reminded the archangel so much of you as a child or Amelia just had her “own little way” you knew that Gabriel liked her presence.
You turned your attention to Sam, who still looked less than amused with Snickerdoodle’s arrival. Taking a breath, you leaned closer to Amelia.
“Maybe we can talk your daddy into letting Snickerdoodle stay. I can help you look after her.”
Amelia immediately squealed before nearly throwing the poor guinea pig up in the air with joy. You quickly reached out and wrapped your hands around Snickerdoodle and gave Sam a small smile. He groaned and shook his head.
“Fine. She can stay but I better not smell anything.”
Amelia nodded and wrapped her arms around Sam’s legs squealing about how he was the best daddy ever.
“What about me? I’m the one that bought the thing.”
Dean grumbled. Amelia quickly went over to Dean and gave him the same attention.
“I am winning that world’s okayest uncle cup.”
Dean said with a smirk as Cas stepped in. The frown on his face told you that something wasn’t well in the world. Standing up you inched closer to him as he muttered something to Gabriel.
Gabriel turned to you. The cutesy moment with the guinea pig was now shot to hell. He hated even mentioning Cas’ news to you.
“What is it?”
You asked softly. Gabriel sighed.
“My father is here with yet another surprise.”
Both Sam and Dean groaned, mirroring Gabriel’s reaction. You too felt a feeling of dread wash over you. While Chuck’s last visit brought you news of the baby…it also brought a feeling of darkness over the bunker that hadn’t 100% washed away.
“Oh boy this day just keeps getting better.”
You commented before turning to Jack.
“Jack, can you stay in here with Amelia?”
Jack eagerly nodded before sitting down beside Amelia, who clearly didn’t care about the business of adults at the moment.
You turned to follow your brothers and Gabriel into the library where Chuck stood with a smile on his face.
“I thought I would come back…”
Gabriel wrapped a hand around yours, keeping his eyes locked on Chuck.
“Please tell us that you aren’t here to bring more good news. We are worried enough about what you brought last time.”
Dean said. He knew that he would never stand a chance against Chuck but he could put his thoughts on matters out there. What Chuck did with said thoughts and opinions was up to him.
Chuck, meanwhile, felt his smile fade. Everyone was looking at him as if he would be declaring that the world would be ending. Gabriel was watching him with a cold frown.
“Gabriel, you can stop frowning. I haven’t brought anything bad…not really…”
“Forgive me for not trusting you.”
Gabriel said in a low cold tone.
“Gabe.”
You whispered, squeezing his hand. The last thing that you wanted to witness was Gabriel and Chuck having some kind of epic showdown.
“It's okay, Y/n. Nothing bad is going to happen. I’m actually here with a special surprise for you…well…I suppose for Sam and Dean too.”
Sam winced while Dean mumbled something about “that last time Chuck gave them a surprise it was resulting in you becoming some kind of fucked up science experiment.”
You bit your lip, not even daring to look at Chuck.
“You know, Chuck, you have really given us enough surprises. I mean…we have met our quota…maybe you should go…bless…someone else?”
Chuck smiled, shrugging.
“I was thinking about the predicament that you are in. Yeah, you have your brothers. While that’s special, you deserve to have your father in your life.”
You felt your mouth drop as John stepped out from behind Chuck.
“Oh shit.”
Dean muttered while John gave the three of you an exhausted smile. He didn’t seem to notice or care to notice how freaked out the three of you look.
“My kids.”
John was in front of you before you knew it. He looked down at you with a smile before pulling you into a hug. Standing motionless, you couldn’t remember the last time that John had actually hugged you. John was never the “touchy-feely” kind of father so this was totally out of your element.
“Y/n, sweetheart, look how much you have grown up.”
John turned to Sam and Dean following the same lead. Both of your brothers looked beyond uncomfortable too as John made what would typically sound like a heart felt sentiment.
“Dad, you’re alive…and here.”
Dean choked out as John hugged him. John nodded before turning to say something kind to Chuck but the man was nowhere to be found.
“Yeah, I am. I think I got another chance and I am so glad to see the three of you. The three of you stuck together…just like you should have.”
Sam cleared his throat.
“It wouldn’t be any other way.”
John turned back to you. The last time that he had seen you, you were just a young teenager. Now here you stood, a grown woman. John’s eyes landed on Gabriel.
“Who are you?”
Gabriel raised an eyebrow. He knew this was about to be a shit show.
Of course, it's a shit show. Anytime my father shows up it's a blasted shit show! Now, look what he’s gone and done.
“Gabriel.”
Gabriel said his name very matter-of-factly. He didn’t really feel like getting in an all-out brawl with John Winchester of you but something told you that it would happen very soon.
John, meanwhile, narrowed his eyes on Gabriel. While he expected that you, at some point, would choose a lover…he wasn’t expecting it to be now. Granted, part of him expected to come back and you still be a young girl.
“The two of you are together?”
You nodded, stepping closer to Gabriel.
“Yes, dad, we are. I’m assuming the guy that brought you here didn’t explain anything to you?”
John frowned, his eyebrows knitting together.
“What is there to talk about? I’m alive again.”
You groaned, mentally cursing Chuck under your breath. Of course, Chuck didn’t tell John Winchester the “truth” of everything going on in his children’s lives.
“Oh, there is a lot to talk about. Come on, we all need to go have a little chat.”
You replied. Meeting Sam and Dean’s eyes, you knew that this wasn’t about to be pretty.
“Dad, do you have a gun on you?”
You asked casually. John nodded. He thought this was a weird question but decided to go with it.
“Yeah, why?”
You shook your head.
“Put it on safety.”
John looked a little confused before following you into a dining room. You motioned to a seat.
“Sit down. We have a lot to talk about.”
John quietly did as he was told. His attention went back to Gabriel who was still frowning at him. Something about the way the man was looking at him made John on edge and he didn’t like it. There wasn’t something quite right with the man at your side. All of John’s hunter instincts were going on edge as he realized Gabriel wasn’t blinking.
“Yeah, I think we do, kiddo.”
John replied as Sam and Dean sat down. You didn’t even know where to start. Never in a million years did you think that you would have to explain yourself to your father ever again. When John was killed, you decide that would be the end of that…boy was you wrong!
“Dad, in the time that you have been gone…we have been through a lot. I mean like a hell of a lot. Sam, Dean, and I have gone through things that you probably wouldn’t believe…”
“Oh, I can believe a lot.”
John commented. You blinked a few times as John continued talking.
“Just tell me what it is. The three of you know that I don’t like…”
You held a hand up.
“Okay, we are in the middle of a second apocalypse. The archangel Michael is wreaking havoc in our lives. The three of us have dealt with the forces of heaven and hell, more monsters than you would care to believe, the British men of letters…I’m sure I am leaving a lot out.”
John blinked, looking totally stunned. He didn’t exactly expect to hear all of that.
“Are you joking?”
You weren't quite sure but for some reason, you started laughing. The last thing that you really wanted was to argue with your father about what you had really done over the past few years. John didn’t know the hell that the three of you had gone through over the years. You did. Sam and Dean did. John did not.
“No dad, I’m not joking. Oh, there’s more. Dean and I are dating angels and I’m pregnant.”
Gabriel stared at you with his mouth open. He honestly expected you to tell John a little more gently but no. You just threw that on him like a wet blanket.
“Surprise.”
Gabriel said with a smirk on his face as John turned to him. It made sense! It all made sense now. John now could see why Gabriel wasn’t blinking in addition to the cold distant expression on his face.
“You’re an angel and she’s pregnant?”
Gabriel nodded.
“That is what she said.”
John shook his head.
“I don’t believe it.”
Gabriel waited a moment before snapping his fingers and disappearing. The room was silent before Gabriel turned up beside you.
“Do you know anyone else that can do that because I sure as hell don’t?”
John jumped up, knocking the chair that he was sitting in over.
“Holy shit! You are an angel!”
Gabriel nodded.
“Yep, not just an angel. I’m an archangel. I warn you, human, don’t make move near her or I will smite you back to where you came from.”
John snarled.
“Get away from my daughter.”
Gabriel shook his head before freezing John where he stood.
“I can’t do that.”
John growled before turning his attention to Sam and Dean.
“You two just let this happen? I told the two of you to watch your sister! Letting her get knocked up by a rouge archangel isn’t part of keeping an eye on her.”
You, meanwhile, suddenly remembered your voice.
“Hold on a minute, dad. You don’t get to come here and start things like this. Sam and Dean did everything that they were supposed to and more. You are my father. You should have been there for us and you weren’t! Don’t you dare give me shit about being on hunts either. It shouldn’t have been Dean’s job to look after Sam and me the way he did. He was our mother and father more than you ever were. He didn’t get to be a kid. I’m my own damn person and make my own decisions. Sam, Dean, and I look out for each other but they don’t tell me what to do and you aren’t either. Chuck may have brought you back but you aren’t going to come in here and order us around. For once, we have our lives figured out and we are just fine with it.”
You turned and walked from the room without another word. Gabriel, turned back to John for a moment.
“It’s so lovely to see that you are still the same human that you were years ago. Excuse me, my wife needs me.”
Gabriel put extra emphasis on the word “wife.” He knew it would antagonize John all the more and he didn’t care….

I'm getting so confused by Medicare. I got automatically enrolled in Extra Help so I got Part D but I still have a deductible but apparently if you qualify for the savings program you'd have $0 deductible? And then there's the whole Medicare Advantage/Part C vs Original Medicare.

.... they want.... *cas* and lisa to have a baby? not dean? dean would flip his lid
Okay so there is some additional context to this
Essentially there was a dropped plotline in my Crowstiel WIP in which Cas accadentally sires a bunch of nephilim by virtue of him and Crowley being swingers, largely just bc I thought it would be funny.
So I was talking over this with the group chat and I offhand mentioned how funny it would be if Lisa was one of the people he knocked up.
So essentially now I'm being pressured into writing a fic where dean shows up in some town for a case only to discover that his crush had a baby with his ex and then married the king of hell without telling him.

I think in an AU, where Howard and Lalo met each other and hit it off somewhere during BCS one of the biggest problems Howard would end up having is Lalo Salamancas complete disregard for human life.

Who do you think is the most attractive guy in gossip girl? Carter, Dan, nate, Chuck lol?
I am a Dan girl through and through. like, *waves hand @ my ao3*
I was talking to a friend a few weeks ago about our childhood hearthrob crushes, re: 2000s teen soaps, and our seasonal Gilmore Girls rewatches, and I told her that "Me, I've always been into the dark haired men who are just a little bit pathetic"
Now, I do think Nate is very hot, and since I've been kind of on a jenate kick since this summer I've been like "jenny, girl, I understand"
Carter is attractive in the same way Georgina is attractive. he would make me worse and honestly I would let him because it would be fun while it lasted.
the only thing attractive about Chuck is his money

I still argue that bleeping someone like Gorden Ramsey is bullshit so that people who love and find swearing fun can pretend that they didn't just hear him call someone a fucking donkey, because there was a bleep... like they don't know the exact word he used, like they didn't think it, and like they didn't have fun with it
Cause I bet you... any amount of money you want honestly, that if you asked Gorden Ramsey not to swear he just wouldn't... I don't think they ever bleep anything in shows where he's helping kids cook
No, people find swearing fun, it's entertaining... they just don't want to admit they like it because it's naughty
And to be clear I'm directly pointing to this and pointing to 'unalive' and drawing a line between them for how we got here
#you either don't swear or you do; bleeping is only for when no one's supposed to swear but it came out by accident#but 99% of the time; you can tell the producers wanted people to swear because their audience loves it#and at best they didn't bother telling them to keep it polite; and at worst they encouraged it#you know; I once when I was like 12 went with my mom to see Chuck D give a talk about stuff#and at the end when he went up he was like 'oh I'm so sorry; I didn't know there was a kid in the audience or I wouldn't have cussed'#and we assured him it wasn't a problem (didn't explain I'd know all of it since I was little)#(and I think to an extent even then I had a mentality of that I'd rather hear it how he was gonna say it normally)#but... he very clearly could have and would have simply kept a check on himself like everyone is capable of#and he clearly would have been more than happy to#it wasn't an 18+ event; it just was on a college and he expected adults only and talks how he talks#you can have zero naughty words most of the time... all you have to do is ask#and you can avoid serious conversations... it's polite to let people not be forced to engage with topics they don't want most of the time#hell; that's the whole point of trigger warnings#...I don't know; I'm forever fuming about this whole fucking topic#it's like a huge portion of humanity is willingly and gladly throwing shackles on#it's on thing not to say fuck; I respect the hell out of that#it's one thing to mind your words and subject; go for it#and it's also one thing not to want to listen to people swear#you know... I often do tone down how I feel like talking cause... I get some people following me might not like it... and I actually care#...it's just also... in the end this is my spot I dump bullshit out of my skull in a verbal vomit#so you get it how you get it... but like I get not wanting to hear it#but don't you fucking tell me you hate swearing and them sit their laughing at a bleeped bit from a show where someone's cursing up a storm#no you like swearing but you're just being a shifty self righteous prick that's pretending you don't to feel smug#and don't talk about death if you don't want to#but don't say 'unalive'; not unless you're meaning the opposite of undead and coming up with something interesting#if you're saying 'unalive' you're just a spineless fucker who can't even manage saying you'll kill a zombie in minecraft#(or a fool who doesn't get what you're going along with)

Song in Chapter: “Running up that Hill” by Kate Bush
_______
“I didn’t watch…watch. I just overheard what was going through both of your heads. It wasn’t hard to miss. Anyway, long story short, you're going to be a mommy. Congratulations!”
You stood looking at Chuck stupidly. Did he really say what you thought he said?
“Are you sure that you aren’t just screwing with me?”
Chuck scoffed.
“No, this is no joke. I have heard what you have been thinking about wanting a baby with Gabriel.”
You held a hand up. All of this was a little much. Even if this was what you wanted something inside you had already accepted that it wouldn’t happen.
“Look, wanting and getting are two totally different things. You can’t always get what you want. Gabriel is going to freak out. He’s totally against making a Nephilim child. I ask questions about it and he will hardly answer them. Whatever you beat into his head years ago has stuck.”
Chuck was still smiling like a fool.
“Funny how things change. Y/n, I know what you want deep in your heart. I also know how you have tried to talk to Gabriel about this and how he reacts. I promise it will be okay. I’m sure Gabriel will be fine once you explain everything to him.”
You shook your head and started laughing coldly.
“Oh no, pal. You are telling him! You are not going to leave until you tell him every single grimy little detail. If you think that you aren’t, ward your ass here.”
“Tell me what?”
Both Chuck and yourself froze. You didn’t want to turn around to face Gabriel. You weren’t sure how much he had heard. The fact that he wasn’t trying to attack Chuck told you that he hadn’t heard everything.
Finally, you turned to face your lover. Gabriel stood in the doorway with his shirt halfway unbuttoned. He was clearly coming to see what was taking you so long to come back to bed. Gabriel was looking between Chuck and yourself with a curious frown on his face.
“Gabriel.”
You whispered his name as he came over to stand near you. He hadn’t taken his eyes off of Chuck.
“Tell me what? Who are you, pal?”
Gabriel repeated. It was clear to you that Chuck was keeping his “real” persona under wraps for the moment. Chuck probably knew better than to just drop the bomb on Gabriel…at least you hoped.
You, meanwhile, wrapped your hand around Gabriel’s as Sam and Dean came skidding into the room. Both froze seeing Chuck. Dean automatically groaned.
“Oh crap, here we go.”
Chuck grinned and waved to both Winchester brothers.
“Sam, Dean…good to see you.”
Gabriel meanwhile, was getting even more annoyed. He had no idea who this guy was, even using all of his archangel power. This inability was quickly driving Gabriel up the wall.
“Hey, who the hell are you?”
Chuck turned back to Gabriel with a smirk. He didn’t say it but he was glad to know that Gabriel was happy with you. The fact the soul mate bond worked so well was yet another testament to Chuck knowing what he was doing. Chuck didn’t want to brag but he knew that you were just “perfect” for his son. Gabriel needed someone who truly understood him and that was most definitely you.
Snapping his fingers, Chuck let the “hidden glamour” fade away so Gabriel could clearly see who he was. As Chuck expected, Gabriel didn’t look the least bit happy or surprised to see him. Gabriel stood with an insolent cold frown on his face.
You inched closer to Gabriel holding his hand a little tighter. It was probably a vain hope to think that you would be able to hold him back but that didn’t stop you from trying. The less damage that Gabriel could attempt to inflect the better.
Sam and Dean both winced as Gabriel started laughing. He took a few moments before stopping instantly.
“Hello, dad. What’s it been? One trillion years…give or take a few years.”
Chuck nodded.
“Something like that. It's good to see you, son.”
Gabriel raised an eyebrow.
“I truly wish that I could say the same. Now back to what you were saying to Y/n. What do you need to tell me?”
Chuck sighed.
“Straight to business, huh? You don’t want to catch up?”
Gabriel stared at Chuck as if he had lost his flipping mind.
“Let's see…you created everything then abandoned us all…yep that covers it. Now start talking before I leave.”
Chuck turned his attention to you with an “innocent smile.”
“Well, okay fine. I suppose you are right on that one. So, you know that I paired you with Y/n for a reason, right?”
Gabriel’s eyes flickered over to you. You were looking at him carefully almost pleading for him to remain calm. Gabriel took a breath before turning back to Chuck.
“Yes. That is the one favor that you have done for me.”
Chuck grinned.
“Splendid. Well, I’m adding to that gift. Y/n is pregnant.”
The whole room fell silent. Sam and Dean’s mouths dropped. Dean said “son of a bitch” under his breath while Sam pinched his arm to shut his elder brother up. You groaned, hoping that Chuck would have told Gabriel a bit more “gently” than that…but no.
You couldn’t bring yourself to look at Gabriel for a moment. When you finally got brave enough his face was stone-cold archangel fury. His amber eyes were locked on Chuck as if he was trying to determine if this was some fucked up joke.
Had Chuck really said what he thought? Gabriel couldn’t move. It felt as if the rug had been pulled out from underneath him. Of all of the shit that he had been through in the past few years, this…this right here had to be the worst. Gabriel never…NEVER planned on this happening. He had been so careful with you. Now here his father stood with this stupid shit-eating grin on his face.
Gabriel finally pulled himself from his thoughts before quickly turning to you. He placed a hand on your stomach and closed his eyes. Sure enough, in his mind, he could sense the life growing within you.
“Is this some joke? Take this away from her right now. I will not let the one human I love die because of your poor decisions!”
Gabriel nearly shouted at Chuck. The lights flickered in the room making both Sam and Dean back up. Chuck looked around as the smile faded from his face.
“I thought that you would be happy.”
Gabriel’s mouth fell open.
“Happy?! HAPPY?! Did you really just say that to me? You were the one who declared nephilim to be forbidden. You made a slide show that you made all of us sit through! How about all of those angels that you ordered us to kill? Now here you are cursing her. I mean it, take it out of her now!”
Dean stepped in.
“Chuck, you better do what he says! I am not losing my sister because you want to play grandpa! This isn’t just a normal child…this is the child of a damn archangel. We know what happened to Kelly with Jack. She died. My sister isn’t going to be some casualty. Gabriel, talk some goddamn sense into her!”
Dean nearly screamed the word casualty. You couldn’t bring yourself to meet your older brother’s eyes. Without looking at him, you knew what he was thinking. Dean was clearly thinking of how he damn nearly raised you. He invested so much time and love. Losing his baby sister wasn’t something that he was ready to accept.
“She isn’t going to die. I already promised her that.”
Chuck started before blinking a few times before looking at you. Gabriel glowered at Chuck.
“WE don’t trust your promises. I know how they have gone.”
“What do you want, Y/n?”
Chuck asked. Gabriel, Sam, and Dean all looked at you with petrified eyes. You swallowed nervously. For the first time, you sat back and considered everything. In ways, you wanted to agree with Gabriel. This was a bad idea. You knew how hard things were for Jack to adjust to what he was.
On the other hand, you knew that you were having Gabriel’s baby. You were getting what your heart secretly desired…a child with the man that you loved. The moment that Gabriel put his hand on your stomach and confirmed that there was actually life there it made it seem even more real. You knew Gabriel would know if a baby was there or not.
“I don’t want to give the baby up.”
You said in a weak tone. Gabriel’s mouth dropped. He looked, if possible, even more devastated. Running a hand through his hair, Gabriel was about to lose his grip on reality. He quickly turned to you taking both of your hands in his.
“No, we are not doing this. We can’t do this! Y/n, I know what you want but it's not happening.”
Dean came back in. He was nearly yelling too. As much as he wanted to keep a grip on himself, he couldn’t.
“This will kill you! You don’t get to just check out of our lives because you want to play house.”
Gabriel didn’t move to look at his father. He kept his amber eyes locked on you. Your heart ached at the look in his eyes. Gabriel looked ready to cry…or burn the world down. It was a real toss-up on which one it was.
“Y/n, I’m begging you. Don’t do this. You can’t be making deals with God! What about me? What about us, Y/n?! I can’t just spend your whole life looking out for you and then fall in love with you to lose you.”
Chuck pipped in.
“She didn’t make a deal with me but now that you mention it…”
Chuck appeared in front of you. He gave you a gentle nod while totally ignoring his trembling son.
“Y/n, I agree to not let this baby kill you. Everything will work out and you’ll survive to have a future.”
He held his hand out. You looked down at his hand and ignored Gabriel who was pleading with you in your mind to not do it. You tentatively reached out and shook Chuck’s hand.
“I have to get out of here!”
Dean yelled before stomping out of the room without another word. Chuck briefly watched Dean before turning back to you.
“You have yourself a deal. See you soon.”
Chuck vanished from the room leaving everyone in an uncomfortable silence. Sam was frozen in his place. He didn’t know what to say. All Sam could do was pray that Chuck was telling the truth. Sam was in the same position as Dean. He couldn’t handle the thought of losing his only sister.
You turned to Gabriel who looked on the edge of totally losing it. Biting your lip, you gently reached for his hand.
“Gabriel, it will be fine.”
He laughed bitterly before running a hand through his hair. Gabriel didn’t know what to say or do. Throwing a tantrum would do no good. He could “terminate” the pregnancy when you weren’t awake…that was an option. Something told Gabriel to not even think about it. You would resent him forever. The last thing that Gabriel even wanted to consider was losing his soul mate due to his own actions. He wouldn’t be able to handle you kicking him out of your life then having to sit back and watch you move on. The mere thought of you moving on with someone else, someone human, enraged Gabriel even more.
“Come on, I need to get out of here.”
Gabriel reached for your hand and pulled you toward the garage. He needed air and to be out of the bunker!
10 minutes later, the two of you sat in silence as Gabriel sped down a dark Kansas street. You sat in the passenger seat looking dead ahead. After a moment, you turned to look at Gabriel carefully.
“Please say something.”
Gabriel’s hand tightened on the steering wheel.
“I can’t believe that you did it. You went and made a deal with God because you wanted something that is forbidden. After everything that you know…you go and shake his hand. Why do you think I have never spoken to you about this…or at least tried not to. Y/n, I have killed angels, their human brides, and their nephilim children! You have no idea how many people I have killed for this and now here we are doing it. You're going to die and I am going to be totally destroyed.”
You pressed your lips together before placing a hand on your still currently flat stomach.
“You heard him…he promised that I wouldn’t die.”
Gabriel trembled again.
“I have heard so many of his promises…and they were for nothing. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be for us…not this. Everything was so good and now it's ruined! We are going through all of this shit with my brothers and now this.”
You couldn’t help but feel sorry for Gabriel and consider, again, your feelings. Were you being selfish? You couldn’t answer that question. Yes, you wanted this baby. After the shock of Chuck’s news wore off, you could admit that (even for a brief moment) you were happy. You were getting what you wanted. Now here was the love of your life going to absolute pieces.
“Gabriel, can you pull over?”
Gabriel immediately did as you asked him and pulled to the side of the road. He didn’t, however, move to look at you. He looked dead ahead with eyes full of rage and absolute sadness. All he could think of was losing you. You were what was important to him. The baby, he had no emotion for whatsoever. If you told him to get rid of it, Gabriel wouldn’t be sad. He would be damn elated!
The silence between the two of you was deafening. You wanted to say something, anything, to make Gabriel feel better but you knew that you couldn’t. Nothing that you could say would bring him any peace. Unfortunately, you had a feeling that this would be the way things would be for a very long time.
“If I could say something to make you feel better…”
You started. Gabriel snorted and rolled his eyes.
“Nothing is going to make me feel better until that thing is out of you and you're normal again.
You immediately closed your mouth and let the silence of the car, minus the radio playing lightly sink back in.
Oh, come on, baby. Oh, come on, darling Let me steal this moment from you now Oh, come on, angel. Come on, come on, darling Let's exchange the experience, ooh
And if I only could I'd make a deal with God And I'd get him to swap our places I'd be running up that road Be running up that hill With no problem
Gabriel looked down at the radio with an icy glare.
“I don’t know about you but I have heard enough from God to do me a lifetime.”

The governor was firm: Nebraska would reject the new federal money for summer meals. The state already fed a small number of children when schools closed. He would not sign on to a program to provide all families that received free or cut-rate school meals with cards to buy groceries during the summer.
“I don’t believe in welfare,” the governor, Jim Pillen, a Republican, said in December.
A group of low-income youths, in a face-to-face meeting, urged him to reconsider. One told him she had eaten less when schools were out. Another criticized the meals at the existing feeding sites and held a crustless prepackaged sandwich to argue that electronic benefit cards from the new federal program would offer better food and more choice.
“Sometimes money isn’t the solution,” the governor replied.
.......
The new $2.5 billion program, known as Summer EBT, passed Congress with bipartisan support, and every Democratic governor will distribute the grocery cards this summer. But Republican governors are split, with 14 in, 13 out and no consensus on what constitutes conservative principle.
One red-state governor (Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas) hailed the cards as an answer to a disturbing problem. Another (Kim Reynolds of Iowa) warned that they might increase obesity. Some Republicans dismissed the program as obsolete pandemic aid. Some balked at the modest state matching costs. Others hinted they might join after taking more time to prepare.
The program will provide families about $40 a month for every child who receives free or reduced-price meals at school —$120 for the summer. The red-state refusals will keep aid from about 10 million children, about a third of those potentially eligible nationwide.
......
As with Medicaid, poor states are especially resistant, though the federal government bears most of the cost. Of the 10 states with the highest levels of children’s food insecurity, five rejected Summer EBT: Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas.
Like the school lunch program, it serves families up to 185 percent of the poverty line, meaning a family of three would qualify with an income of about $45,500 or less.
......
Some Republicans, in rejecting the aid, found critics in their own ranks. After Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina dismissed Summer EBT as a duplicative “entitlement,” State Senator Katrina Shealy, a fellow Republican, wrote a column with a Democratic colleague warning that “hunger does not stop during summer break.”
In an interview, Ms. Shealy said the state should not reject $65 million “just because Biden is president,” and perhaps just partly tongue-in-cheek wrapped her plea in Trumpian bunting: “Everyone wants to say, ‘America First’ — well, let’s feed our children first.”
Oklahoma initially said it rejected the program because federal officials had not finalized the rules. But responding to critics, Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, sharpened his attack, calling Summer EBT a duplicative “Biden administration program” that would “cause more bureaucracy for families.”
Tribal governments, which have influence over large parts of the state, stepped in. Already feuding with Mr. Stitt, they promised to distribute cards to all eligible families on their land, regardless of tribal status, while bearing the $3 million administrative cost. The five participating tribes will cover nearly 40 percent of Oklahoma’s eligible children, most of them not Native American.
“I remain dumbfounded that the governor of Oklahoma would turn down federal tax dollars to help feed low-income children,” said Chuck Hoskin Jr., the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation.
-------------------------
some of the most stunning highlights of this story.
All I got to say is, let's feed the children? every single Democratic Governor took the money to feed the kids, every governor who rejected it, every single one, is a Republican. If you don't vote for Democrats you are STEALING food out of kids mouths.

The orange peel theory
Pairing: Azriel x reader
A/n requests are open
Tumblr media
The orange peel theory. It was a silly test to see if their mates truly loved them. They passed if they peeled the orange for their mate without complaint. If they question why or refuse, they fail. It’s the test that Rhysand passed and Cassian failed. 
Rhysand was rewarded with a kiss from his mate, while Cassian was met with the orange he refused to peel being chucked at his head. To make up for his mistake, Cassian picked up and peeled it before giving it to Nesta. She begrudgingly accepted the fruit from her mate and offered to share it with him.
Since you didn’t have a mate yet, you were getting ready to peel yours yourself. The second you were about to start peeling your orange, Azriel showed up: “May I?” Azriel extended his hand and caused a confused expression to appear on your face: “Your orange. Let me peel it for you. I know you don’t like the scent of citrus on your hands”.
Smirks appeared on Feyre and Nesta's faces as they watched the shadow singer peel the orange for you. Everyone knew Azriel had feelings towards you and they wanted nothing more than for you to finally realize it: “Thank you so much Az, I really appreciate it”.
“It’s no problem,” Azriel replied and handed you your now peeled orange “Let me know if you need me to peel any more for you”.
You simply nodded and watched as he walked away. The minute he was gone Feyre and Nesta stared at you wildly: “What?” you asked.
“How can you not see that Azriel is in love with you ????” Nesta asked as Feyre nodded in agreement “he peeled your orange without even being asked”.
You let out a nervous laugh before replying: “Azriel isn’t in love with me. He’s still in love with Mor”.
“That is where you are wrong y/n,” Rhysand replied, Cassian nodding in agreement with his brother. “Azriel hasn’t been in love with Mor ever since you came into his life”.
You started replaying all of the interactions you’ve had with Azriel and started wondering when things changed between the two of you: “What if you're wrong? What if he’s just being nice because I'm Nesta and Feyre’s friend?”
“First of all, I’m insulted you don’t think of me as a friend,” Cassian dramatically placed his hands over his chest “Secondly, Rhysand and I have known Azriel for five centuries, I know when our little shadow singer has feelings for someone and that someone is you y/n”.
You wanted to deny it mostly because you didn’t want to get your hopes up. Yet, the more you thought about it the more you couldn’t deny the lingering touches you would share from time to time. How every time you were upset or sad Azriel would miraculously be there to comfort you. 
The more you thought about it, the dumber you felt for ignoring the signs. “Do you think he’s going to confess his feelings for me? Should I confront him about them?” you asked your friends.
Little did any of you know, Azriel was thinking of a way to finally confess that he was your mate.
